I worked with a student who, as a high school senior, required academic assistance. Let’s call him John.John was a good kid—intelligent, well-mannered, and a star basketball player at his high school and among his local teen league. But he struggled a bit in school when it came to his writing skills. He couldn’t put together a clear, basic, five-paragraph essay that focused on a singular thought. This was holding him back in the classroom and crushing his confidence at test time.
